The 3rd Annual Coopies! The Top Five Films of 2015

Poopie Coopie (Most Disappointing film of 2015) - American Sniper

Original Review

American Sniper is so forgettable that I almost forgot that it was released in 2015. With some of the great war movies released in the past 10 years (Zero Dark Thirty, The Hurt Locker, Inglourious Basterds) , the standards are higher than this and I expect more from veteran filmmakers like Eastwood. This was a shallow, one dimensional look an American hero who should have had a more elaborate film treatment that wasn't just a plain watered down Hollywood feature. 

5. Room

Original Review

An unsettling but completely memorable movie. Unbearably tense at times. An unforgettable story that introduced audiences to Jacob Tremblay and gave Brie Larson another opportunity to shine on screen. 

4. Kingsman: The Secret Service

Original Review

Sharp, refreshing, witty and fresh and fun. 

3. The Revenant

Original Review

Innaritu outdoes his work in last year's Birdman with this visual masterpiece. Certainly a style over substance piece, but there are some lasting images that will stick with me for some time. Especially the single take sequence early in the film. 

2. Ex Machina
Original Review

There are so many great things to walk away with from this cautionary AI tech tale. 

1. Mad Max: Fury Road
